At the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB, we transform cutting-edge scientific findings into technical innovations – contributing to shaping the future.
Here’s how you’ll make a difference:
Collaborative research centers (SFBs) are the "Champions League" of the DFG-funded projects (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). They are spanned over 12 years comprised of a variety of W3 University professors along with their postdocs and PhDs. You will contribute to SFB1574 - the Circular Factory, which explores how future production systems can seamlessly integrate linear and circular processes, enabling used products to be transformed into new generations.
What you will do
* Support the development and testing of the PyTorch package “gmTorch” for efficient Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) learning
* Contribute to implementation, optimization, and benchmarking tasks in GPU-accelerated environments
* Assist in preparing experimental results and documentation for integration into research workflows
What you bring to the table
* Enrollment in Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science or a related discipline
* Good knowledge of Linear Algebra and Probability / Statistics
* Practical experience with PyTorch; experience with GitLab or similar version-control tools is a plus
* Strong analytical skills, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset (a little Google-Fu is always welcome!)
What you can expect
* Central location: Only a few minutes' walk from KIT Campus South and very good public transport connections.
* Working hours and location: Flexible working hours by arrangement (in general 40 hour per month), with the possibility to work from home.
* Co-authorship: Opportunity to be a co-author on resulting publications.
* Hands-on research projects: Collaboration with industry partners and application of research results in real-life scenarios.
* Individual supervision: Benefit from our professional accompaniment and an open, communicative exchange within the team.
* Exiting tasks and creative freedom: Take responsibility and contribute your own ideas.
* Option to write a thesis: Bachelor's or Master's thesis possible by arrangement
We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
